Warriors Fall to Pilots at Home

West (1-2) lost to Banning (2-0), 5-4, in a pivotable El Segundo Tournament game Monday. Starter Trevor Neer (0-1, 3 I, 5 RA, 4 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 2 HBP) was staked to a 2-0 lead in the 2nd. Warriors' 1B Teddy Kerwin reached safely on a grounder to 3rd, and a dropped throw to 1st. A steal of 2nd, and a SAC fly to RF delivered by DH Austin Watters brought Kerwin to 3B. A dropped fly in shallow right allowed RF Lucas Nascimento to stretch the play into a 2 base error. Both scored on C Collin Nelson's single, but Nelson's and 2 subsequent hits (CF Kurtis Kurata, LF Shun Tayama) were left on the table when the Pilot pitcher struck out Neer, and SS Daniel Timmerman flew out to Center. The Pilots rebounded in the 3rd, taking advantage of walks, HBP's, and some small ball to recapture the lead, 5-2. Andrew Hardgrove (1 1/3, 0 RA, 2 H, 1 K, 1 HBP) relieved in the 3rd, but left abruptly in the 4th after knocking down a line drive. Timmerman (2 2/3, 0 RA, 1 H, 4 K, 2 BB) took the bump, keeping the Warriors close with a scoreless appearance. Good fortunes in the 5th as 3B Luke Klocek started a 2 out rally with a single. Kerwin singled to LF, Watters' liner to Right was dropped, and reserve RF John Palmer's basehit to left closed the gap to a 5-4 deficit. Watters Led off the 7th with a hit to Right. 2B Juan Correa entered as the runner, reaching 3rd on a Sac Bunt by Palmer, and a Wild Pitch. The Warriors were unable to capitalize, as Nelson was struck out and Kurata grounded to 1B.

Team: 4 Runs, 9 Hits, 1 2B (Neer), 1 BB, 4 K, 11 LOB, 3 ROE

St. John Bosco shines as rain subsides, Warriors subdued

St. John Bosco humbled the Warriors in Bellflower, 7-1 in a rain delayed affair Saturday.

West looked poised to jump out early as LF Shun Tayama started the game with a 1B to LC, but was put out attempting to steal 2B. #2 hitter RF John Palmer's infield single to 2B started the reload. The effort was again fended off when Palmer was forced out on 3B Daniel Timmerman's grounder to the 2B. The Braves of Bellflower wasted few opportunities in the bottom 1/2 of the 1st, sending their 1st 5 batters to the plate (3 1B, 2 BB) before Pitcher Collin Nelson (0-1, 3 1/3 IP, 7 RA, 8 H, 5 K, 2 BB) could recover with a K. Trailing 4-0, Nelson settled to record the last 2 outs of the 1st. Things were tenuous in the 2nd, as the Braves led off with a 1B. Nelson smartly guided through with a 1-3-6 pick off. He continued on, retiring the next 5 batters. Sr. Kevin Petersen (3 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 1 2B, 1 HBP) inherited a 6-0 deficit with 1 out and a runner in the 4th. The Braves remained in step as Petersen was greeted with an RBI producing 2B. CF Lucas Nascimento's throw was delivered tardy to the plate, but C Austin Watter's throw to Petersen (alertly covering 3B) caught the batter/runner attempting to stretch bases. SS Trevor Neer made several athletic plays to help contain the Braves' offensive. The Warriors were throttled for most of the day by P Koby Gauna (CG, 1 RA, 7 H, 5 K, 1 BB). West's lone run was generated in the 2nd, when Neer led off by reaching 1st with a hard single knocked down by the backhanding 3B. He moved to 2B on a similar ball struck by DH Teddy Kerwin. Gauna's failed pickoff attempt allowed Neer to take 3B. He was scored on C Austin Watters groundout to 2B. The Warriors threatened again in the 4th when Timmerman led off with a 1B, but was cut down at the plate when next hitter Klocek's 2B to R/C was relayed home. Again in the 7th, with Neer (BB) and Kerwin (1B) aboard and no outs, Gauna turned back the Warriors, retiring Watters (F9), Nascimento (KS), and PH Danny Machado (3U).

Team: 1 run, 7 hits, 1 2B (Klocek) 1 BB, 6 K, 5 LOB, 1 ROE, 0-2 SB/A.

Nothing Cavalier about Warriors 1st game win

West showed depth as they defeated Serra, 13-2 in their 1st game of the El Segundo Tournament. Winning Pitcher Danny Machado (1-0) allowed 1 earned run on 4 hits in 4 innings (1R, 4H, 2BB, 2K, 5LOB). Andrew Hardgrove pitched the final 3 (1R. 0H, 3BB, 4K). Serra struck 1st in the 2nd with a run on 2 hits, and a run scoring groundout to 2B Juan Correa. The Warriors' offense erupted for 9 runs in the bottom 1/2 of the 2nd, sending 12 to the plate. 1B Luke Klocek led off with a single. SS Trevor Neer smashed a 2B over the LF. CF Lucas Naciemento was HBP. DH Austin Watters' well placed 2B in front of a diving RF scored the 1st 2 runs. Correa was HBP, and Catcher Collin Nelson hit a run producing 1B. Serra miscues helped continue the barrage, as LF Shun Tayama's comebacker to the pitcher was dropped by the catcher as the play was made to home. RF John Palmer slapped a run scoring 1B to LF. 3B Daniel Timmerman was HBP, forcing another run home. Klocek added his 2nd 1B of the inning, scoring 2. Naciemento's grounder through the SS scored Timmerman. In the 3rd, Nelson (BB) scored on Timmerman's grounder (E-6). Nelson again started things off in the 5th with a 1B to CF. PR Nathan Batucan took 3rd on a WP. Both Batucan and Neer scored when reserve CF Kurtis Kurata's grounder to SS was misplayed. Reserve 1B Teddy Kerwin debuted with an RBI 2B to Left/Center. Serra added a run in the 7th as Hardgrove struggled with control (3BB, WP). He struck out 2 of the last 3 batters to right the ship. All reserves found their way to the field, providing a complete team effort.

Team: 13 runs, 11 hits, 3 2B (Neer, Watters, Kerwin) 3 BB, 0K, 3 HBP, 7 LOB, 4 ROE.
